Building on it , walking on it, not using it properly and contaminating it. Construction of any type, mining, deforestation, agricultural soil depletion from poor cultivation practices, creation of dams, manufacturing pollutants, sod farming, improper use of pesticides/insecticides/herbicides and fertilizers, and overpopulation in general.
The following are the causes of soil degradation:
Agriculture causes soil degradation by the following ways:- 1.Over grazing
2.Use of artificial fertilizers
Secret You Have No CLUE
Human activity is the main cause of soil degradation. Agriculture plays a large part in soil degradation, especially clearing, irrigation, the spreading of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, overgrazing and even the passage of heavy farming equipment. Tillage and the clearing and deforestation of large plots of land also lead to soil degradation. Improper drainage in agricultural fields also contributes to soil degradation.
land degradation causes soil errosion which further lead to drought and desertification.
Soil erosion and depletion are the major threats to soil as a resource. Both human and natural factors can lead to degradation of soils . Factors which lead to soil degradation are deforestation, overgrazing, overuse of chemical fertilisers or pesticides, rain wash, landslides and floods.

The principal cause of soil degradation along the Murray River is improper land use. Certain agricultural practices cause erosion, whilst over-iriigating causes increased salinity.
Heavy rains are responsible for most soil degradation in the prairies of the United states. There are not enough plants to keep the soil in place.
Biological action of microorganisms causes degradation of biodegradable materials.
the main causes for the land degradation in the punjab is theintensive cultivation.
poor soil for agriculture & overcrowding of city-states
Land degradation is the land that is being degraded in some form that is negative. Soil erosion is when rock and soil is removed from one location of land to another.
